EarthDiverse: bus tour to the Auckland Art Gallery, Sat 18 March
Spend a Day with EarthDiverse at the Auckland Art Gallery!
Join Peter Dornauf and Norman Franke for a guided tour of the Auckland Art Gallery. Enjoy and discuss masterpieces of European and New Zealand art history and of contemporary art. Price includes bus transport from Hamilton & GST. This one-day excursion takes place on Saturday 18 March 2023. Bus departs 9:00am from in front of the EarthDiverse Centre at 401 Anglesea Street and returns at 6:00pm.
Explore the taonga (treasures) of the Auckland Art Gallery with two art experts who have a background in art history and cultural history and who are themselves practitioners. The guided tours are interactive: A brief introduction into or contextualisation of the object d’art is followed by questions and answers and discussion. Using the two major shows ‘Myths of Masculinity’ and ‘Romancing the collection’ as a basis, we will have a look at portrait and landscape paintings, still lives and installations, myth making in and through art, social, political and cultural discourses in light of historical and modern art making.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
